Latino Public Broadcasting

Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) is a non-profit organization funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with the purpose of addressing issues of cultural significance to the Latino population in the United States.

It does this by funding the development, production, postproduction, acquisition and distribution of non-commercial educational and cultural television that addresses these issues.

LPB is also part of the National Minority Consortia, an organization composed of several minority public broadcasting organizations that wish to bring more diversity to public broadcasting.

LPB was founded in 1998[1] by Edward James Olmos[2][3][4] and Marlene Dermer.

Edward Olmos currently serves as the chairman of the board of directors.
